Please indicate comments are for the Culbertson Corridor Planning Study.
MDT initiated the corridor study to identify and assess improvement options for the rectangular area around the town of Culbertson, which includes a 4-mile segment of U.S. 2 (between reference post 642.8 and reference post 646.8) and a 5-mile segment of MT 16 (between reference post 86.6 and reference post 88.6 north and between reference post 0 and reference post 3 south of Culbertson). The corridor study is a planning study and not a design or construction project. Improvement options, including an alternate route around Culbertson, were evaluated based on engineering and environmental data as well as input from the oversight committee and local officials. Through analysis and screening, fifteen improvement options and one alternate route were identified as having the potential to address transportation concerns within Culbertson. The Public Draft of the Corridor Study will be made available on August 10, 2012 for review and comment. Copies of the Draft can be accessed via the study website at: http://www.mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/culbertson/. Hard copies will also be made available at MDT offices, Culbertson Public Library, and the Roosevelt County Extension Office.
